Friday - Last Full Day of Camp
Friday was the last day of English classes. It was bittersweet. Some of the students were really tired so we played some games and enjoyed each other's company.
In the afternoon we went to the penzion (hostel) for a bit to get some internet time. Then Ruth went back to the camp to burn CDs (Mainly for the 'By Your Side' song but it included other Christian songs). Luice joined the Czechs for some crazy games. They included but were not limited to:
- Relay Race with Teamwork
- Tightrope walking
- Human Puzzle
- Solving Riddles
After the evening program that involved reflecting on our week we had a bonfire, 'cocktail' party and a slideshow. The bonfire included writing down your regrets and sins and throwing them into the fire. The cocktail party included various fruit juices and snacks. For the slideshow the Czech leaders loaded all the pictures from the week and ran them for all to see. They also presented all the leaders and our team with gifts to thank us for our time. It was so sweet.
During all this, Ruth was signing CDs. She personalized each CD. They really appreciated it and Ruth had a good time doing it.

Tuesday Program - Ruth, Rachel and Luice
On Tuesday evening, Ruth, Luice and Rachel were in charge of the evening program. We decided to do something that didn't need translation. The theme of the evening was 'Identity'. So we decided to act out a skit to a song. We used 'By Your Side' by Tenth Avenue North. The skit involved a young girl going through hard times in life and after each crisis she gets labeled (She labels herself and others label her) things like: Unloved, Neglected, Stupid, etc. The turning point of the song is when she reaches out to 'the Jesus figure' (who's been there all along) and He comes and saves her from overwhelming hardships and helps her remove her wrong identities and replaces them with truths like Loved, Redeemed, and Beautiful.
Ruth posted the video of the skit on Facebook, see it here:
We got help from some of the Czech leaders. And the labels we used were in Czech and English.
It went really well and the Czechs really loved the song.
